MOTORCYCLE JACKETS

Horsehide is the densest and most abrasion-resistant. Cowhide is the proven all-around standard. Sheepskin bombers add serious cold-weather warmth. The right choice comes down to riding season and how much break-in you want.

Snug through the shoulders with room to layer a flannel or hoodie underneath. Sleeves should cover your wrists in riding position. Measure your chest over the layer you ride in most and check the size chart on each product page.

Most are. The lineup includes Cockpit USA jackets sewn in New York and Legendary's own American-made leather. See USA-made motorcycle jackets for confirmed domestic builds.

Heavyweight leather blocks wind on its own down to cool temperatures. For real cold, sheepskin bombers or layering a vest and thermal underneath turns a riding jacket into winter gear.

Decades. Full-grain horsehide and cowhide jackets routinely outlive their first owner with basic care — riders pass them down. Break-in takes a season; after that the jacket molds to you.

Wipe down after wet rides, let it air dry away from heat, and condition once or twice a year with quality products from our leather care collection. Store on a wide hanger in a cool, dry place.
